Hi Universalmom, the less we have to do with Westminster the better as far as I'm concerned. A parliament with fewer politicians seems like a better idea. However saying that, I don't trust any politicians. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of English friends and I wouldn't swap them for anything. But National politics is a different matter. The Scottish people were never consulted when the Union was formed. The aristocrats decided to join with England for their own purposes not for reasons that the Scottish people would find beneficial. Remember the Scottish young men were involuntary conscripted into the English army to fight their greedy wars and form colonies for the rich. Does that answer your question? I would be Universalstan if I could get a humane world government free of corruption and dishonesty.
